Finally got it.
So after travelling down to London from Glasgow and coming back empty handed last week, I went down again yesterday and drove up with my new car 
My impressions so far on the 410 mile journey,
(Based on driving various B18 and H22 powered cars)
Performance: Impressive, certainly a quick car with good power delivery throughout the gears. The 6th gear is a godsend on the motorway. The VTEC crossover is very smooth which I was not used to coming from an ITR.
Handling: Didn't really get a chance to test the handling too much as I was stuck in London traffic for the first 2 hours and then motorway driving after that. It seems sharp enough but will report back when I have tested it.
Comfort: Very comfortable on the motorway, as already said the 6th gear makes a big difference. As I bought the hardtop model, there was little cabin noise too. Seats are nice and hold you in place. Overall the cabin is nice and snug and I keep finding secret compartments!
Looks: Well what can I say, I love the way it looks and the stance. The hardtop was the only model for me. The HID's are ideal too and give the car a GT look.
I managed to get 31.7MPG over the course of the 410 miles which I am more than happy with, I estimate around 26-30 on daily driving.
I am chuffed with the car itself, came with the hardtop and FULL Honda history. All recalls carried out too. I haven't enjoyed driving a car this much since owning my first car!
Can't wait for the summer now
In terms of future plans, going to get a full geometery setup asap. The car seems to have lighter steering to the right than to the left so not sure what that is. Other than that, maybe look at putting the standard air filter back on. No other plans.
Sorry for going on a bit, the excitement got the better of me
Pics to follow at the weekend...

Glad u like it-im fairly new to the S2000 myself 22 dec 10 I got mine, really love it but sick of trying to hold it in the right direction on bumpy, dirty (darn tractors) pot holed, icy Norfolk roads- Roll on spring and dry roads! Enjoy!
